The invention disclosed herein includes apparatus and a method for enhancing the evaporation rate of leachate from leachate evaporator ponds. The HIAP apparatus and method promotes enhances evaporation by providing heat from high powered industrial heat lamps that direct heated air and heat energy across the air/leachate liquid interface of the evaporator pond surface to increase the evaporation rate of leachate from the evaporator pond.

An in-situ reconstruction and extension structure of an embankment and a construction method thereof are provided. The structure includes a stepped slope excavated on an existing side slope. A gradient of the stepped slope is the same as that of an extension side slope, the stepped slope is individually intersected with top and bottom planes of existing side slope; a toe of existing side slope is taken as a toe of the extension side slope, and gradient of the extension side slope is determined according to positions of the toe and an expanded width. An outer side of stepped slope is filled with a geogrid reinforcement layer in a layered manner, a slope protection structure is arranged on an outer side of the geogrid reinforcement layer to form extension equivalent side slope; a drainage system is arranged at a bottom of the extension side slope.

An apparatus, system, and/or method for forming a drainage system. The apparatus comprises a linearly elongated handle depending from a linearly elongated body used for forming a channel through tamping. The system and/or method for forming such a system includes tamping means having a head with a handle upwardly depending therefrom and utilized for forming a channel in the ground. A quantity of construction aggregate is placed in the channel. A hemicylindrical conduit is installed superjacent the construction aggregate via mechanical fasteners. The apparatus may be controlled manually or inserted as an attachment to excavating machinery.

A pre-disintegrated soft rock embankment structure based on spatial function zones and a design method thereof are provided. The embankment structure includes an embankment shear control zone, an embankment settlement control zone, and an embankment shear-settlement control zone. The embankment shear control zone is a zone in which a shear failure ratio is greater than a predetermined value. The embankment settlement control zone is a filled zone right below a top surface of an embankment. The embankment shear-settlement control zone is an intersection of the embankment shear control zone and the embankment settlement control zone. The provided structure and method improve the shear strength, stability, and durability, reduce footprint, shorten a settlement duration after construction, and solve engineering problems such as low slope ratio and large deformation of an embankment due to a long period of subsequent disintegration in the prior art.
